Sometimes it might be difficult to give your loved ones a big hugâmaybe theyâre too far away or maybe an illness is keeping you apart. Whatever the reason, if you canât see your friends or family in person, sending them a handmade card in the mail is the next best thing!
CASUAL
For our casual Hugs card, we used the Night of Navy Stampinâ Write Marker to ink the word âHugsâ on the Sending Hugs stamp. We stamped the base of the card and the top and bottom of the cardstock with Granny Apple Green ink. The card was finished off with another small sentiment in Poppy Parade ink and some Loose Flower Flourishes.
AVID
To make the Avid card, we used Granny Apple Green, Petal Pink, and Poppy Parade Stampinâ Write Markers to color in the flowers, berries, and leaves. We also added some more color to the card with Neutrals 6″ x 6″ (15.2 x 15.2 cm) Designer Series Paper and some Linen Thread.
ARTFULLY AVID
Making our Artfully Avid card was so much fun, especially when we used the Layering Hugs Dies. First, we die cut our main image using vellum, then we cut out the individual letters with Night of Navy Ombre Specialty Paper. Then we added some Subtles 6″ x 6″ (15.2 x 15.2 cm) Designer Series Paper, a few die cut and colored flowers, and some Elegant Faceted Gems to make it pop.
